Nobody's Child

D D7
As I was slowly passing
G
an orphan's home one day,
A7
I stopped for just a little while
D
to watch the children play.
D7
Alone a boy was standing
G
and when I asked him why,
A7
he turned with eyes that could not see
D
and he began to cry.
G
I'm nobody's child,
A7 D
I'm nobody's child.
A7
Just like the flowers
D
I'm growing wild.
D7
I got no mummy's kisses
G
I got no daddy's smile.
A7
Nobody wants me,
D
I'm nobody's child.
No mummy's arms to hold me
or sue me when I cry,
'cos sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die.
I'll walk the streets of heaven
where all the blind can see.
And just like for the other kids
it will be a home for me.
I'm nobody's child,
I'm nobody's child.
Just like the flowers
I'm growing wild.
I got no mummy's kisses
I got no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child.
